• Remove all net.* initscripts (except for net.lo) from all runlevels

• Add these scripts to the RC_PLUG_SERVICES line in /etc/conf.d/rc. (For example, RC_PLUG_SERVICES=„!net.eth0 !net.wlan0“)

# rc-update add wicd boot

• Starten:

$ wicd-client

Lastly, the wicd init.d script needs to be updated to include dbus and hald as dependencies otherwise the wireless card may not be found. So go into /etc/init.d/wicd and add them:

#!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright 1999-2006 Gentoo Foundation

opts="start stop restart"

WICD_DAEMON=/usr/sbin/wicd
WICD_PIDFILE=/var/run/wicd/wicd.pid

depend() {
        need dbus
        need hald
}

start() {
        ebegin "Starting wicd daemon"
        "${WICD_DAEMON}" >/dev/null 2>&1
        eend $?
}

stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping wicd daemon"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile "${WICD_PIDFILE}"
        eend $?
}
